Is Withnail and I the best British comedy of all time?
With Bruce Robinson's Withnail And I getting an open air release in Caversham tomorrow, as part of Cult Screens commitment to exhibiting the best cult and pop culture films, it's a perfect opportunity to revisit and reflect on a truly unique British comedy and cult classic.
Metro, 15th August 2013Sick of living in squalor in Sixties Camden, down-on-their-luck actors Withnail (an impressively intense debut from Richard E. Grant) and Marwood (Paul McGann) decide to take an idyllic holiday in the Lake District. This superb British tragi-comedy, which has become a cult favourite, follows the two unemployables as they tackle extreme weather and Withnail's lecherous Uncle Monty (a typically imposing Richard Griffiths).
